Abstract

The acoustic sounding method is a well-known technique for taking distance measurements of fluids and objects, especially in a well or other borehole. The method involves making a loud bang sound and recording and analyzing the echoes generated as a result. One device used to make the bang sound for the acoustic sounding method is an acoustic gun (0). The echoes are then recieved transducer for recording the sound, which is analyzed by a separate surveyor unit (100). The acoustic gun (0) is used at or near wellhead of the borehole. The current invention is a vastly improved surveyor unit (100) with unique attributes for analyzing ec information and data retrieved from wide array of acoustic guns (0) used in the application of the acoustic sounding method.
